...and, somehow, it's "proven" to be THE bible we're actually supposed to follow. That it was a revision/replacement of the one we currently have and most everything in it is opposite of most everything you have ever believed or been taught. (Just for example, it might say that homosexuality is not a sin.)

Now, what if all the religious leaders in the world--including your own--decided to start using this new bible? And now they are preaching opposite what they've always preached. Of course, there will be some differences to it because everyone interprets the bible differently, which is why we have organized religion in the first place.

How would you handle this? Would you accept the new bible? Would you change how you view certain things or people like homosexuals? (Again, that's just an example.) Would you beg God's forgivness for having worshipped "incorrectly" based on the wrong bible? Would you lose faith? What would you do?

people use the statement of I believe or I know that GOD exist. But do they really know what they are saying. If they did might they phrase it in a different way?

proof?

He never has went to church, but now these people in suits show up every couple weeks and he hands them cash. I understand seeking god in old age, but after reading the wiki article on this religion I wonder if they are milking grandpa's savings. Would they just take anything he gives them? Would they promise him things (afterlife/god/forgiveness) in return for money?

what should I do?

I did not make this up. Im not over there all the time, but I was there once when they came over and because I was there they went out to the woodshed to talk. I accidentally saw through the kitchen window as he handed them some bills from his wallet.

These people are legit church reps, but does that mean they won't take all his money? He is WWII vet on SS with parkinsons. I love him, but I feel it would be disrepectful to say anything. He/we have never discussed god in any conversation ever.

If A Serial Killer Who Kills People For The Heck Of It And Had Raped Hundred Of Woman Go To The Confession Box And Asked The Preist For Forgiveness, Can His Sins Be Pardonable ?

I ask this question to all of you because I asked the same question to my Christian friend and he said yes... but I find it hard to believe

I'm a christian and I have had faith issues but I believe in God and the bible. But lets just say that you are right and there is no God. What do I have to lose? Nothing. On the other hand, if you are wrong what do you have to lose? Pretty scary if you think about it.
I didn't post this to argue about who's right or wrong. I just wanted to give unbelievers something to think about.
How can you look at this world and all that's in it and not wonder how it all got here?

There is no way that he could fit every animal in the world on his ark, excluding animals that could survive for 40 days in the water. I'd like to see someone figure out how big his ship would have to have been in order to fit 2 of every animal on there. Let's say that he manage to have a ship big enough to fit all the animals on. How would he collect all the animals? Did he go to the north pole to get Polar Bears? I really can't see how anyone can believe this fairy tale. I've got it! God warped the animals to Noah!

I'm fully aware that many of you out there think that Hell is a scare tactic to try to get people to come to Christians' way of thinking, but this isn't the place to vent that opinion, alright? The answer I'm looking for is a list.

"THIS Religion believes in Hell".
"This Religion doesn't believe in Hell as Christians know it, but more of like a blah blah blah blah..."
"This religion actually has SEVERAL hells."

Know what I mean?

So technically, god created himself.

God is the sentience of the universe itself. Like the spirit/soul of everything.

Thanks, please no hate, so tired of hate... just wanna know what people think is all.

I've just read a bunch of replies to the homosexual in church thread and several christians have posted "Yes, so long as you aren't an active homosexual" and then they'll yank a bible verse. I'd like to ask...do you watch television? do you go to the movies? do you celebrate Christmas and Easter?

That ALWAYS troubled me when I was a sheeple, why is it that every sin is EXUSED away except homosexuality? Paul admonishes the christians NOT to worship god in any way shape or form like pagans yet most christians I know (even fundies) celebrate Christmas, Easter and Sunday worship (Sun day was 'the' day pagans worshipped the Sun God).

How can you even give people an 'if' when you are in sin yourself?

Not talking about yours, but life in general, from the spider crawling on the vine outside, to the vine itself.

The world is such an amazing place to me :)

God truly is great.

Why don't u get it?

Jesus said it over and over again, HE IS THE FATHER!! HE IS GOD in the FLESH. What makes him the son is the fact that he had a HUMAN body(carnal flesh)!! Hes both at the same time!!

Jesus told Philip in John 14:9
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John 10:38
38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. ARE THEY NOT ONE??

JESUS TOLD the DEVIL in :
Matt 4:7
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Wasn't Jesus the one who was being tempted? Oh yeah maybe that means that Jesus is the Lord GOD!! cmon ppl lets all rightly divide the word of truth!!
2 Tim 2:15

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

My mother's friend thinks "a gypsy woman" put a voodoo spell on her. I am only using her words-- no offense meant to anyone for stereotyping. Can anybody help point me in the right direction?
